Detect DMCA takedowns of your pages in Google and show your DMCA AI protection badge.

== Description ==

DMCA AI Protection connects your WordPress site to dmcaai.com — a DMCA
counter-notice service operated by a U.S. Copyright Office–registered
Designated Agent.

* **DMCA scan** — checks your homepage + latest posts/pages against Google's
  index and flags URLs removed by DMCA takedowns (status DELETED). Manual
  "Scan now" button plus an optional daily automatic scan with email alerts.
* **Protection badge** — embeds your registry-verified DMCA AI badge via the
  `[dmca_ai_badge]` shortcode or automatically in the footer.
* **Recovery path** — when a takedown is false or abusive, recover the URL
  through dmcaai.com: pay only after the URL is restored, 12-month warranty.

The scan uses the DMCA AI public API (free tier: 100 checks/day). Get your
free API key at https://dmcaai.com/en/api/ (Google sign-in).
